CH3SNAS firmware 1.04RC4

As it was the purpose to have the 1.04RC3 being released officially I’ve decided not to release it through the official channel. I have just received an important bugfix which was finished earlier than expected. So probably early next week this version will be released.

In this release only the following has been fixed:

  • The samba server time setting is not synchronized with FTP server and device web time setting.

This means that in certain conditions you could see time differences when uploading / copying files to the CH3SNAS. Download the 1.04RC4 here

Note: the PS3 issue is still under debugging. Playing a 7GB .ts media file can show the correct size, but it can only be played for 2 hours.

Oh Oh .. server probs

I had some severe issues with my server this evening and I had to restart it. Did not want to wait .. so any pending ftp upload: sorry ..

b.t.w. if you upload content for analyse with CFULLHDMA please include your name and/or e-mail or notify me by e-mail cause I see duplicate info on the server and I do not know why this is ..

CH3SNAS: Firmware 1.04RC3

After listening to users of CH3SNAS I finally present you the 1.04RC3 which will be released on the official webpage soon as 1.04-0627 version

Release notes:

In this release we have fixed a number of issues needed to be fixed for an official release:

(this release is about to be released through the official channel as wel as official supported download)

  1. http://ch3snas/server.pem & http://ch3snas/etc/shadow can reveal information: fixed
  2. Certain UPnP Devices (Like PlayStation 3) could only browse but not play content: fixed
  3. Files > 2GB could not be played entirely: should be fixed
  4. Issue with mt-daapd when using bonjour tool: Partly fix: we only support to see the status. New features needed can be proposed and if useful, we can try to add.

Please reset your device to factory defaults after upgrading to have certain scripts work properly. Without resetting to factory defaults I cannot guarantee any option to work properly.

1.27 Euro

En ja hoor, heel sneaky heeft Pepsico (Vrumona) de prijzen verhoogd van Pepsi Cola (althans bij de Albert Heijn, ook wel Appie genoemd).. Waar we eerst ongeveer 1 euro 17 moesten betalen voor een anderhalve literfles Pepsi Max, zouden we nu ineens deze week 1.27 euro moeten betalen ..

Een klein ritje naar de Deka Markt bevestigde ons vermoeden: hier betaalden we inderdaad maar 1 euro 17 voor een fles en wanneer we 4 flessen (4-pack) kochten was het nog iets goedkoper.

Zo is de Cola dit jaar met ongeveer 15 tot 25 cent gestegen .. (per fles) .. Zijn we lekker klaar mee .. \

Coca Cola is trouwens nog duurder .. Daar valt de prijs al helemaal niet meer te rechtvaardigen voor wat je ervoor krijgt.

CFULLHDMA: Share content to analyze

It could be possible that you encounter an issue with a certain multimediafile (music / video / photo) during playback on the CFULLHDMA.

To analyze your issue it is important to have exactly the same content you are using. A lot of people do not have the ability to provide the content themselves, but are able to upload.

If you have issues and want to share them with me: upload your content to my FTP server. Create a folder and put there the file including a text file with the issue (English language please)

ftp://ftp.aroundmyroom.com – Username: conceptronic – Password: cfullhdma

You can upload, resume etc.. but you cannot download .. so do not bother trying (but you will) … If this FTP ability is successful I will keep using it, otherwise I will close the FTP again.

For freaks: I use a little updated version of these PROFTPD settings to prevent downloading and some other things ..

Solving my NFS issue

Suddenly …. after hours of thinking, analyzing .. I’ve found it … Yeah …

If the DNS IP address within the CH3SNAS is equal to the gateway address it will NOT work (or sometimes work).

Your router will forward DNS stuff, so normally the IP address of the router can be given as DNS server .. but on NFS level it is causing issues.. No idea why ..

It took me a lot of patching and I needed a lot of settings to be changed but as well as here in my office as at home both parts are working the fullest now…

Phew.. Thanks for everyone commented… maybe maybe this is helpful for someone outthere ..
